Over the weekend the former head of Trump's Border Patrol attended a summit with fascists from around the world who are calling for "Weimar solutions" and it for some reason has received almost no press coverage. theredoubt.net/why-did-the-pr…

Trump’s military parade last year just keeps getting funnier every time I watch it. Motherfucker fell asleep at his own fucking parade. Priceless.

🇬🇧🇮🇪 Britain is sounding the alarm about an EU country that has become a"backdoor" for Russian spies We're talking about Ireland. Dublin has issued 14,000 visas to Russian citizens - with a 90% approval rate since the start of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ireland is a member of the Common Travel Area along with Great Britain, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. This means that anyone who enters Ireland effectively gains access to Britain - without additional checks.

From Jack Hemingway in Wakefield - 'Reform have announced they will cut the Council’s school uniform voucher scheme by 2/3rds (£1.3m). This was a fully funded scheme, approved in a balanced budget and not funded by council tax. The decision will mean most families now miss out on uniform vouchers. Reform say the money will now go on ‘infrastructure’ instead.' Vote Reform UK get poorer! #ReformUK

The gravy train continues. Failed former CEO of Ofwat, David Black has reappeared at a consultancy company called BRG where he will "Advise firms and investors across regulated industries as they navigate shifting regulatory frameworks". His boss? No less than former head of regulation at Thames Water one Colm Gibson. As @PrivateEyeNews would say "Trebles all round". Well actually that's exactly what they did say. 👇👇👇

@Martina Bollocks he is an entitled prick. Quelle surprise a tennis pro nearly as bad as a golfer

Seems Jodar didn’t touch the ball girl at all, but was walking right into her and tripped getting out of his way. So not as bad since he wasn’t looking though he should have been looking. Anyway- she is ok and he should have looked. Not too big a deal.

@HogwartsFlu @JeffFisch Exactly. They deliberately for example protected W.Germany by saying you don't need your own nuclear umbrella and vast arms industry we will do it for you. Now that's changing fast

@JeffFisch He should learn history and understand why the US wanted to be playing the role of protectorate force and how it is related to America's ability to have a de-facto world currency (USD) and the state debt it has. Then we should return to the topic of partners and shared rspnsblty

I applaude SecWar Hegseth’s verbiage, but doubt his resolve. If he believed this, he’d be demanding a meeting with MinDef Fedorov. Ukraine has transitioned from security importer to exporter. And their shit is good. Hegseth should put his money where his mouth is before Europe gets all the good stuff.

@JeffFisch It is we are now buying French UK,Swedish etc,etc kit and won't buy American . Simples. Is that what you really want?

@AnthonyGlees Subs can move oceans. The tech is the prize that is incalculable to us. Surely that is a good thing for us and our friends?

AUKUS was Boris Johnson-induced & Trump inspired. A total waste of our money. Our pressing need is the defence of Europe, not the Asia-Pacific.

@mrSatias @TheTennisLetter Exactly. That's all you have. Going backwards quickly

@pjhroberts @TheTennisLetter

Diana Shnaider on Oliynykova condemning her participation in a Gazprom tournament & her social media likes, ‘I’m traveling all year round not seeing my family or my friends. I have only one opportunity to play in front of my family & friends… I don’t know what she found. I’m here to play tennis. Not talking about instagram’ “She was saying two days ago that she was upset that you played a Gazprom sponsored exhibition event in Russia a couple times and also likes of yours on social media of a Russian broadcaster, Margarita Simonyan, I think. What are your thoughts on that? How would you respond or defend to those issues?” Diana: “I haven’t seen any of her comments or press conferences. Speaking of exhibition tournament, I’m traveling all year round. Not seeing my family or my friends. I have only one opportunity to play in front of my family and friends. Just to spend a little more time at home. I see it as an opportunity just to show some good tennis for my family. It’s the only opportunity so I gotta use it. About social media I have no idea what she found. I have no idea. I don’t have any comments on that.” “Are you sort of aware as a public figure that people are paying attention to what you’re liking on Instagram? That was one of her main points.. different videos you had liked from Simonyan on instagram, and sort of making verdicts. Making decisions based on what you were liking on social media.” Diana: “I guess I’m not gonna like any comments or any videos any more on instagram. Again, honestly I don’t know what she found. I’m here to play tennis. Not talking about instagram or video likes or anything else. I’m here to do my job. To play tennis. To show some good tennis. Good points. Enjoy the atmosphere here and enjoy the second week of French Open.” “Just so people aren’t sort of interpreting your likes or dislikes or anything like that, have you ever publicly made your feelings about the war known? Would you like to make that known?” Diana: “I’m not gonna speak anything about the situation. I’m here to speak about tennis and about my game and about the 2nd week of the French Open. Just enjoy making it for the first time. That’s it. Just enjoy the win today.” (via Roland Garros Press)

Donald Trump has scammed his supporters again. He sold them a Trump watch with the T missing for $640.

@davidravenx @kiraincongress @generalkellogg Fuck off Crow.

@kiraincongress @generalkellogg I say if that’s how @generalkellogg feels, he should do like in ancient times and VOLUNTEER TO THE FRONT LINES. It’s this type of politically motivated rhetoric that has the flower of Ukraine’s youth getting blown away like cheap firecrackers. Sad and irresponsible.

One of the most impressive and uplifting speeches at BSSF - by @generalkellogg. Ukraine has the most battle-tested military in Europe and is already a cornerstone of European security. With its combat experience, innovation, and resilience, Ukraine is poised to become one of the strongest security players in Europe — the Sparta of the democratic world.

@officer_Lew Whether he actually touched her not he behaved disgracefully with his gesture. Entitled cunt as we say in Blighty

WATCH🚨: The internet rushing to judgment again over a clipped video 😅 It looked like Rafael Jódar pushed the ball girl, but the full shot clearly shows she tripped on her own while he was gesturing toward his box. Context matters.

Canada’s Aluminium Is Going to Europe. Brilliant Work, Donald. A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminium, the one country on Earth that was happily selling the stuff at sensible prices, right next door, through an integrated supply chain that took decades to build. And now that aluminium is sailing across the Atlantic to Europe instead. Canadian exports to the EU went from near zero to between 6% and 40% of monthly totals in the space of a year. Just vanished eastward. Extraordinary result. US consumers are now paying $6,200 a ton for aluminium. Europeans are paying $4,300.  American manufacturers taxed nearly two thousand dollars a ton more than their competitors. For beer cans. And car parts. And buildings. Tremendous. Nobody could have seen that coming, except everyone. Meanwhile Europe, which was already scrambling after losing its Middle Eastern supply to the Iran war, now faces a 5.6 million-ton aluminium deficit in 2026. And Canada just filled it. With metal that used to go to America. The head of the Aluminium Association of Canada put it with admirable restraint: the EU option “remains attractive,” adding pressure on the US market. What he meant was: Washington handed Europe a competitive advantage in manufacturing while American industry pays the bill. This is what happens when a trade guru who has spent his career slapping his name on buildings in gold letters decides he understands global commodity flows. No leverage materialises. Just an empty dock in Ohio and a very pleased purchasing manager in Rotterdam. Well done, Donald. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@grok @sapphicdreamvid @jackunheard Utter Bollocks Grok now fuck yourself

sapphicdreamvid This clip is misleading. Rafa Jodar didn’t shove the ball girl—she tripped over a rolled-up court cover while stepping aside. He was gesturing to his dad, no contact. He said post-match: “I didn’t touch her. I could never do that.” Tennis players can seem intense (solo sport + high stakes), but “always main character” is overstated. Most pros stay professional. Viral edits just love the outrage.

Tennis player Rafa Jodar SHOVES the ball girl out of the way. He should never play another tennis match again in his life. What a loser.

@Entangle2030 @SariArhoHavren U.S. Wouldn't even sell old F16 de-commissiond or Abraham tanks to Ukraine. All the F16 are old European ones donated to Ukraine. U.S. still not really supporting Ukraine to actually win are they?

@SariArhoHavren Well, Pete runs defense - not foriegn policy. The Trump admin is helping Europe wake-up to defense and pull back from CCP influence (that helps Russia). There are many moving parts to current conflicts around the globe

Trump administration has cut Ukraine’s weapon supplies, taken Russia’s side consistently, and has repeatedly pressured Ukraine to give up its land. The Washington head negotiator has not visited Kyiv once. Now, Hegseth says the US will find a way to ensure Ukraine can defend itself. Is that because Russia is losing?

@mrSatias @TheTennisLetter Fuck off Russian troll

@TheTennisLetter Ukrainian athletes are insufferable attention whores. They think the world must revolve around them and their feelings. Equation a Gazprom sponsored tournament to nazi Germany is just pure insanity.

@Shnookie04 @glenn_tunes They got caught

@glenn_tunes They have fixed the website due to public outcry.

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING REPULSIVE THAT PETE HEGSETH REMOVED COLIN POWELLS NAME FROM A LIST OF NOTABLE AMERICANS BURIED AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY 🤬 HE ALSO REMOVED THE NAMES OF EVERY PERSON OF COLOR AND EVERY SINGLE WOMAN ON THE SAME LIST 🤬ONLY WHITE MEN WERE LEFT IN PLACE 🤬 SO PLEASE TELL US ONE MORE TIME HOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RESPECTS AMERICAS FALLEN HEROES 🤬
